My Vinny

I know I've said this before, but time is flying! I can't believe my sweet Vincent is already 4 months!
We flew to Southern California and surprised my Sister on her Son's first Birthday. Taking the early flight worked beautifully. Our flight was basically during the time he regularly sleeps. Normally a 12 day visit is plenty of time. Not this time. Of course Vinny was the star of the show, it was his first time meeting the rest of my family. My entire family is in Southern California. I miss them so much. It's very hard for me not raising my son around my family. I wish I could just move all of them here! At the same exact time, I LOVE living in Chicago and I think it is a great place to raise a child. What it really all comes down to is Medical care for Vincent. I could not possibly move my son away from the specialist that are in our area. I especially can not move him away from the free health care that has been offered to him by a Hospital with a team of Skeletal Dysplasia Specialists. Oh yeah, the free health care... is until he's 18!!!! What an amazing blessing! Dr. Pauli ("the" specialist) is also about 2 hours away. So regardless of how much I would love to be closer to the rest of my family, my son's health will always come first.
Speaking of health, my baby has his first cough! We've already taken him to the Doc. and he is fine. No fluid in his lungs, everything checks out fine. He has a simple throat virus. It breaks my heart to hear is little cough. Even though he's coughing A LOT, Vinny still manages to warm my heart with his smile. He smiles and sometimes laughs after he coughs! He as just started laughing! He's still trying to figure it out. Mike was able to record some of it. Not the best quality video, but it's PRICELESS! I posted it right before this post, check it out!
One more thing! Our Discovery Health episode airs on July 20th!!! I've watched the preview over and over again on the Discovery Health website! I can not wait to see the final episode!
That's enough.
